what gauges for turbo setup? ok well i have a 00 WS6 A4 soon to be 5psi and i want to know what the hell my car is doing while im driving but i dont want to have like 7 gauge everywhere i think that looks ricerish i know i need a widebank, boost/vaccum, but the what else. Since i have a A4 should i have a tranny temp or is there anything out there that maybe it will show me like 2 or 4 displays at once like an MSD dashhawk but they dont work on 2000

Knock retard is a good thing to monitor and intake air temps. A pyrometer wouldnt be a bad idea as well

i read about thouse but it only display 2 at a time i know 2 is better then nothing but when im getting on it i dont want to be flipping through all the read outs to see what everything else is doing
im in the same situation as u man. i also got an a4 too. so im gonna be watchin this thread closely. i have narrowed it down like u, but i only one have 3 gauges: wideband, boost/vacuum, and ???. hopefully this thread will answer it.

Boost, fuel pressure, wideband, trans temp and water temp here. The water temp was a last minute add too that I thought would be essential.
I am starting to think that interceptor would be great as well. To monitor knock, IAT, etc, etc. What do they cost, don't feel like looking it up, LOL

well i know since i have an A4 i really want a tranny temp even tho its build i still want to know her temp..... i live in FL here so putting gauges in the AC vent wouldnt really work since i love my AC... i kinda came down to this then with the imput from here get a 3 pod pillar and go with boost/vacc, wideband, tranny temp, and IAT in the ac vents next to the door(dosnt blow that much)...beind turboed do i need a oil temp gauge or i should be fine?
Fuel press, water temp, and egt, and meth run led is on the pillar; eb2 is in the left vent next to the door, and just added the trans. temp bellow the radio. Looks almost as confusing as PSJ haha.
